Through my letter here, I'd like to ask Mr. Esparza if he gets
paid a fair wage (nothing less than the federal minimum) and
receives overtime pay when earned?

Has he or anyone in his family ever received Social Security,
Medicare or Medicaid? Has he or anyone in his family taken time off
work due to a serious illness, accident or birth of a child?

Does he and everyone in his family work in a clean, safe
workplace? Does he and his family enjoy breathing clean air,
drinking clean water, eating safe food, and using safe toiletries,
cosmetics, children's clothing and toys?

Is his money safe in his bank because of FDIC?

Was he, his parents or grandparents helped by the GI Bill that
granted veterans loans to pursue higher education and purchase
homes?

As a veteran, I hope he gets to take advantage of the
much-needed funding that President Obama signed into law last year
under the Veterans Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act.
(Which is still not adequate, by any stretch.)

Did he or a family member ever have the need to receive
unemployment insurance benefits, extended or otherwise?

If Mr. Esparza answers "yes" to any of the above questions, he
can thank a Democrat.

I am not saying other parties haven't done anything to bring
forth good things for Americans (and what I've cited here is just a
small sample), but if Mr. Esparza would be so kind as to enlighten
me to what they might be, I would like very much to see them
here.

One last thing, Mr. Esparza, in response to your statement that
"they (Democrats) hate war." I would think that anyone in their
right mind would "hate war." I think the Iraq "war" was based on
lies from the beginning, as most of them are. And do you have an
example where Democrats have shown "disrespect" for generals and
fallen soldiers?

Just saying you "love your country" doesn't mean Democrats
aren't just as patriotic as you.
